I don't read that often anymore but I'd like to change that.

My favorite books are like puzzles - like Paul Auster's "New York Trilogy" and works by Samuel Beckett. Confusion fascinates me.

Other topics that interest me include: personal finance, business, entertainment-cinema, mysteries, abstract/surreal, poetry, cartoons,...more »

    The Contortionist's Handbook is also very good -- Craig's debut. But Derma takes writing to a whole new level. I swear I hallucinated reading some of those passages. Check out The Velvet, you'll feel right at home and always have a great list of books to add to your wish list (which, if its like mine, grows so fast I couldn't read them all in three lifetimes).

    Take care,

    Roger

    I am a huge David Lynch fan. I've seen all the films, and have the following books by or about him:

    The Autobiography Of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper;My Life, My Tapes;Frost, Mark
    Wild At Heart;The Story Of Sailor And Lula;Gifford, Barry
    Night People;;Gifford, Barry
    The Complete Lynch;;Hughes, David
    David Lynch;;Kaleta, Kenneth C.
    Full Of Secrets;Critical Approaches To Twin Peaks;Lavery, David
    Catching The Big Fish;Meditation, Consciousness, And Creativity;Lynch, David
    David Lynch;The Air Is On Fire;Lynch, David
    Lost Highway;;Lynch, David, Gifford, Barry
    Lynch On Lynch;;Lynch, David, Rodley, Chris
    The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer;As Seen By Jennifer Lynch;Lynch, Jennifer
    The Impossible David Lynch;;McGowan, Todd
    The Passion Of David Lynch;Wild At Heart In Hollywood;Nochimson, Martha P.
    The Strange World Of David Lynch;Transcendental Irony From Eraserhead To Mulholland Dr.;Wilson, Eric G.
    Weirdsville USA;The Obsessive Universe Of David Lynch;Woods, Paul A.
    The Art Of The Ridiculous Sublime;On David Lynch's Lost Highway;Zizek, Slavoj

    The Velvet is really a relaxed, informative forum for great books and films. You MUST read Will Christopher Baer's "Kiss, Me Judas" and Craig Clevenger's "Dermaphoria" -- two of the greatest novels of the past decade. Gritty, hip, literary, and not derivative of any existing genre, these guys are the real deal for the future of fiction.

    Hi Marc,

    Timequake was awesome! It's very strange with non-linear timelines as all Vonnegut books are, but I really thought it was interesting. I like this site alot and I'm glad you are reading, if I only had time to read all the fun stuff on here, sigh...
